Upgraded power cables- Who's on First?


Just wondering...If you have 2 upgraded power cables to use where is the the best place to use them? Wall to conditioner first?
Then cdp to conditioner? Perhaps preamp to conditioner would be 2nd best choice? I really am too lazy to do hours of testing if someone has already figured this out and does it really matter?
Thanks

So we don't have to be psychics tell us what pcs you have and a bit more of your audio affair.

I have a Signal Magic PC $100 and a Virtual Dynamics $$$ model and price unknown.

Power cords can not improve the in coming current but they can definitely severely degrade it when mismatched

now you are scaring me.
When you all say you still need to mate your amp with the right designed cord? Does this mean that the designer of said unit did not take this into account when listening to the finished product? Also stated Low level sources and pre amps will benefit from cables whose construction can deliver constant ... non varying ... rock steady ... linear current ... the clocks in our digital components do no like swings in current as they use it for timing ... varying current = swings in the clock's timing = bad mojo
So the designer of a digital component didn't hear the different swings in current when detemining what power cord size or configuration to use? This sounds very fishy to me and the only way to eat this up would be a nice dry white wine to swallow all these so called misinforamtion.

The VD cord is probably a Virtual Dynamics power 3 and is recommended for use anywhere but from my experience with this cord it seemed better suited for A-D & D-A converters and CD players. That is just a guess though as to what cord it probably is.

Without you actually moving the cords around and listing for yourself your really not going to know what position sounds best for each cord.

Perfect example is I have an Elrod Sig 3 which really was meant to go on amps while the Elrod Sig 2 was for cdp's and such,I personally didn't like the Sig 2 on my cdp but loved the Sig 3 there, now on my tube amps I used Electraglide Epiphany X power cords which again I was told were for source applications, pre-amps, and line conditioners and not so much amps BUT I liked them on the amps more than anywhere else in the system so the point is until you swap your cords around your not going to know!!

Starting at the wall HD explosion proof aluminum receptacles box that weighs about 6 pounds ... the aluminum protects the R1 Oyaide Duplex from RF and the thick construction reduces vibration that can be picked up from the walls ... also capped off with a Oyaide Carbon Fiber plate

I've used Jenn labs, Purist Audio design, and various other 5362 type outlets and the R1 smokes them all

Power cable from R1 outlet to Exact Power power conditioner is an Elrod EPS sig 3 designed for high current vs EPS sig 2 designed for low level devices ..

Arye D1ex dvd/cd source and external crossover have bi directional filtering ... remember I talked about digital by products ... Foundation Research LC1 (designed for low level devices vs LC2 or LC100 designed for high current applications)

Phase Linear D500 (500 watts @8 ohm and 960 @ 4 ohm ) amp has high current low impedance ESP power cord directly wired to amp's 140000pf power supply ... because of modified dual diode bridge and very stiff power supply no need to spend extra bucks for Elrod sig 3 as ESP delivers the burst power because of it's low impedance design

Sub amp is P/Linear 700B (350 @ 8 ohm and 700 @ 4 ohm) waiting for stock cord to be upgraded to ESP when I get time

I practice what I preach ... proper cord for specific application

>>>" I have a Signal Magic PC $100 and a Virtual Dynamics $$$ model and price unknown"<<<

Just determine what they were design for and apply them correctly ... price has nothing to do with it

>>>" Power cords can not improve the in coming current but they can definitely severely degrade it when mismatched "<<<

Blue ... you must have skipped class the day we discussed the Laws of Conservation of Matter ... "Energy can neither be created or destroyed only altered in form" ...

Basically you can't create or improve upon the incoming current only degrade it ... the less degrading a power cord is the better it sounds

>>>"now you are scaring me"<<<

You should be scared with all the SWAGing ... [Scientific Wild A$$ Guessing] that goes on in this forum ...

Math and Physics are the only thing that can effect your system ... learn how they interact and you'll have the Keys To the Kingdom"

Schipo ... I must take my wife to lunch right now ... I will respond to your post as soon as I return ... put on one of your fancy suit and have a glass of what ever ...

"HD explosion proof aluminum receptacles box that weighs about 6 pounds "

Having a problem with exploding walls?

My house was built in 1841 and the walls are so thick I decided to pass on the "explosion proof" boxes. I did get Albert Porters cryo treated wall receptacle thank you.

OK so I will do some testing and move those cords around from base to base. I hope I can hear a difference.

Waiting to see you have Schipo for dessert.
